Iraq: Heroic SoI Still a Feature in MNF-I Dispatches

The Maliki government may find the Sons of Iraq disagreeable, but the heroic volunteers still feature prominently in MNF-I news releases, like this one, dramatically titled “Sons of Iraq find weapons cache in southwestern Baghdad, EOD diffuses IED”.

If you really want to know when the U.S. withdraws its support — and that day will come, despite all the assurances by Petraeus of not “walking away” from the SoI — check out these dispatches. They’re a fun read.
